Rufus' POV:
Geoffrey had sent a lot of men after me.
But they didn't wield any weapons. It was clear to me that they were just trying to stall for time, preventing me from saving Sylvia.
I was getting more and more irritable. I was so anxious that my instinct to slaughter everyone nearly reared its ugly head.
It was Warren, the constant voice of reason, who stopped me. He said that I had to take the interests of the whole into consideration.
Fuck the interests of the whole! I just wanted to see Sylvia safe and sound!
Thinking about Sylvia, I channeled all of my energy into my fighting and attacked the damned guards with all of my might.
But there were so many of them. With every minute that passed, I grew more anxious.
All of a sudden, the sounds of fighting from the other side of the wall stopped.
Flora and Warren seemed to have noticed this, too. We all exchanged nervous glances.
Geoffrey, who had been standing outside the encirclement, suddenly spoke up.
"Everyone, stop. That's enough." Geoffrey beckoned at his soldiers to retreat.
I had a sinking feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough, Geoffrey asked his men to open the gate to the outside.
I immediately rushed out of the gate as fast as I could. Warren and Flora followed closely at my heels.
To my horror, outside the wall was a complete mess.
Blood stained the ground. Seeing this, I almost lost control of myself.
"Calm down. It might not be Sylvia's." Warren grabbed my arm urgently.
